Pteryxx

Comfortably ensconced in a cheap room.  My intermittent planning and hoarding served me well.  Bed, desk, and a window by my head with the full moon shining through, is all I need.  My own little TV on Mythbusters night just adds the icing!  So I am studying anatomy while the gang watches a fake meat diver get compressed liver-first into his own helmet... I may never eat again.  *broad grin*

While I haven't yet found a place to stay, the network of friends is beginning to test its wings.  Calls are going out along the raveling threads, by voice and email, twitter and site. People whose paths I've crossed respect me and wish me well, even when I'm uncertain of myself.  And I'm reminded how precious we are, what power we each have.  Do you behind your icons know that your few words make this corner feel like a home?  I hope that you do.

I've been invited to share dinner and football at a neighbor's today.  I've secured my artwork, my most important belongings, and my cats; responding with a plan and connections instead of being adrift in uncertain currents.  So I have reasons enough to be thankful, and confident in the days ahead.
